The emergence of electric drives opens up new opportunities in vehicle design. For example, powerful in-wheel motors pro -vide unprecedented flexibility in chassis design and are suitable for distributed drive solutions, although implying non-trivial vehicle dynamics control problems

This traditional text is intended for mainstream one- or two-semester differential equations courses taken by undergraduates majoring in engineering, mathematics, and the sciences

Ordinary Differential Equations is based on the author's lecture notes from courses on ODEs taught to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, physics, and engineering. The book, which remains as useful today as when it was first published, includes an excellent selection of exercises varying in difficulty from routine examples to more challenging problems. These exercises show extensions of the techniques in question and serve to introduce the reader to the literature in this area. New to this SIAM Classics edition is an Errata section listing corrections to minor errors in the 1982 edition. An extensive bibliography (up to 1980) is provided.
